Chapter 24 : The start of the exposure

                                    

                                          
I had faith in me, I was hoping that no one saw the article.
But unfortunately, the next day, when I woke up, Jungwon oppa looked pretty upset. 
When mom talked to him, he would respond blankly and coldly. He didn't show any emotions at all.
He didn't greet me like he would do every morning. He didn't smile at me, nor even say hi.
I felt guilty, but I couldn't do anything.
I prefered not to talk to him, so I ignored him. I knew it wasn't the best idea, but I was obligated to do so.
We left home, and went to school like usual. He didn't even look at me.
I was sad
"Hello~, cute siblings~" Yujin unnie greeted
"Hi" I sadly said
"What's wrong ?" She asked 
"Nothing" I answered 
"Good morning" Sunghoon suddenly said
He looked cheerful. He was happy
I was kinda cheered up by my baby
But I still was a bit sad because my brother was upset
I knew it was from the article. My heart was beating very fast, and my stomach was hurting because I was so scared
I was so worried that oppa might forbid me to talk to Sunghoon, or he might be rude to him, or maybe he won't talk to me anymore
NOOO.... That was my worst thought. I can't stand living without my brother, nor my love. I can't choose between them. I want them both. 
Tears were about to fall from my red eyes, but Yena unnie saved me without knowing that. 
"Hellooooo~ guysss" She said jumping in front of us excitedly 
"Hi" I smiled weakly
"Hello" Everyone greeted the cheerful unnie
"I was kinda tired but I instantly felt better. You radiate positive energy unnie" Yuri unnie claimed
I wish I could tell you that too unnie, but I don't want anyone to know that I'm sad, cause I don't want them to know the reason 
"Haha. I'm glad I made you feel better" She giggled and said happily
"Wait, did you guys see this ?" Yujin unnie said
"What is it ?" Jake asked
"This article. It was published yesterday" Yujin unnie said showing the article that I was scared of
"Wait... so... what does that mean ?" Gaeul unnie asked, tilting her head while looking at me
I felt embarrased so I didn't say anything, instead I looked down in shyness 
I felt everyone's gaze at that moment
I also felt someone else was shameful and worried. It was him of course.
I knew I had to face my brother who was very upset at my actions. But what I didn't know is that it'll be very soon 
(I don't know why, but whenever I read the word 'action', I remember the way Jungwon said it in 'ILiveAsAnIdol' hehe lol. It was so cute btw) 
I looked at him through the edges of my eyes in full shame 
He didn't bother to look at me and check if I'm alright. I know he has the right to do so. I'm the one who made a mistake. But I didn't know I would fall for Sunghoon so hard that I would start having someone who is equally chosen as my brother.  
Of course I will always love my brother more than anyone, but still, I can't choose him over the true love of my life, nor the opposite.
